2013. Another Year. I’ve made one New Year’s resolution every year for a decade or three: not to make a New Year’s resolution. And I’ve managed to keep it so far, intend to go on making it: it’s one I can’t break easily. Now, take a look at an analog clock, and see what kind of faces it can make …
hours walk
circling wide
to measure
hands over faces
ticking frowns
round and round
this clock
tocks a revolving
laugh between
semaphore arms

A Summer Father … terse, imagistic lines; … It’s not nostalgia that we experience but quiet, poignant grief. Richard Stevenson
